Chapter 69: Congenital Deficiency

Before people entered the Wenjing Courtyard, they could hear the sound of chattering inside, and when they turned into the courtyard, they saw a stack of bamboo strips and a lot of white paper with patterns drawn under the porch of the side house, and several maid rings were getting together to discuss what style of lanterns to tie.

Lu Xingwan wore a silver-red jacket with fur edges, and stood aside with a hand stove, watching the girls busy with interest.

"Girl, Little Lady Wen is here." Mama Chen led Wen Shu in and greeted her.

Everyone looked at it.

Lu Xingwan bowed his head slightly towards Wen Shu and chuckled: "Yinhong, they are tying lanterns, can the little lady be together?" ”

Wen Shu originally didn't like these manual jobs, but thinking about the next half a month, he responded with a smile.

Seeing this, Mama Chen said, "Then give me the burden on your body, and I'll put it in the Westinghouse for you." ”

Wen Shu nodded, put the blue cloth burden on his shoulder, and watched Mama Chen put them into the side hall of the West Winginghouse.

She brought a total of two burdens today, one bag for daily change of clothes and personal things such as medicine bottles and daggers, and the other bag for iron boxes, dressing boxes made of Dan wood and some washing stones.

In order not to let people see the angular box inside, she deliberately wrapped the box with a padded jacket, so she couldn't tell what was inside from the outside, and only thought that she was carrying clothes for both of her bags.

Mama Chen went to put the baggage, Wen Shu blessed Lu Xingwan with a blessing, and then squatted down and tied the lantern with Yinhong.

Her father Wentai is half a carpenter, she is no stranger to these manual work all year round, and when Yinhong and they discussed whether to tie rabbit lanterns or tiger lanterns, she helped bend bamboo to fix the lanterns.

She is strong and dexterous, and those bamboos are soft like silk threads in her hands, and they become shapes when they are bent casually, which attracts the praise of the silver and red women.

Lu Xingwan was also amazed, and said with a smile: "Little lady Wen has a pair of skillful hands, I don't know how to make tea and rice?" ”

Wen Shu smiled slightly, and said humbly: "Barely able to enter." ”

Although she is modest in what she says, she actually thinks that the cooking skills of the chef in the Hou Mansion must be extraordinary, and her superficial skills should not be taken out to be ashamed.

Lu Xingwan just asked casually, smiled when he heard the words, and didn't speak again.

After tying three rabbit lamps and two lotus lamps with Yinhong, the time flickered to noon, and there were bursts of fragrance in the kitchen of the small courtyard.

Lu Xingwan was helped into the flower hall by the big girl Yinhong and Green Willow, and Wen Shu followed behind and sniffed secretly, guessing what delicious food was being done in the kitchen.

Tadpole soup, silk rice, coke formula.......

One dish after another crossed her heart, not because of how smart her nose was, but because these things were must-eat on the Shangyuan Festival, and she was already familiar with the fragrance.

Sure enough, after a while, the two little girls who were the first to tie the lantern together, Silver Heart and Green Heart, came in with a tray with a woman in her early thirties.

Wen Shu took a look at it, and there were eight dishes, although the portion was not much, but it was too luxurious for Miss Lu to eat alone!

She smacked her tongue in her heart, and the woman who could hear it pointed to a soup and said: "According to the girl's instructions, this group of fresh soup and green onion and garlic are specially gone, the girl tastes it, can you still eat it?" “

Lu Xingwan bowed slightly, picked up the spoon on the side, tasted it lightly, pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, there is a chef." ”

"Don't dare." The cook blessed herself: "The girl likes the things that are within her part." With that, he went down with the empty tray.

Wen Shu stood behind Lu Xingwan, looking at the eight dishes on the table, saliva was about to flow out, and then seeing a pair of dishes and chopsticks opposite her, she couldn't help but secretly guess that there would be someone who would come over to eat together later.

Who could it be?

Hou Ye? Mrs. Hou? Or is it Lord Lu?

was guessing randomly, and heard Lu Xingwan say: "Mama, you and Yinhong and the others should also go to dinner, just have a little lady Wen to accompany you." ”

What, what?

Venshula returned to his thoughts, but he froze in place.

There was a monster roaring in her heart, why did Yinhong leave her behind when they all went down to eat, she was also hungry!

"Yes." Mama Chen and the others responded and retreated.

Wen Shu looked at the backs of them leaving, and felt a strong reluctance in his heart, so he almost stretched out a hand and shouted: Don't, take me with you!

was extremely resentful in his heart, when he saw Lu Xingwan turn his head and chuckle: "The little lady is hungry, sit down." ”

Miscellaneous.... What the?

Wen Shu looked at her with a smile, and didn't understand the meaning of her words, was that what she understood? Miss Lu wants to invite her to dinner?

She said tentatively, "No, no, I'll just eat with Yinhong and them." ”

Seeing this, Lu Xingwan smiled and said: "Little lady Wen doesn't have to be restrained, your brother has told me, the little lady is not a real Houfu person, so there are some rules that don't need to be followed, although I don't know why my brother must ask the little lady to accompany me to Cangzhou, but since I am the person invited by my brother, I should be courteous, little lady sit down." ”

Wen Shu was still a little hesitant, so she heard her say again: "Today, the little lady entered the house for the first time, I specially asked the cook to make a few more dishes for you to catch the wind, if the little lady doesn't eat, how can I eat alone, my brother often says not to waste, the little lady wants me to be scolded." ”

When it came to this, Wen Shu would not refuse, she was already hungry for these dishes, so she thanked her at the moment and sat down opposite Lu Xingwan.

Lu Xingwan's body was weak and his appetite was not good, so he only ate half a bowl of rice, then dropped his chopsticks, and pressed Wen Shuleng, who was eating the appearance, and was embarrassed to eat alone, so he tried his best to invite her to eat together.

But Lu Xingwan shook her head resolutely, only said that she had no appetite, and then let her go and eat, without restraint.

Wen Shu looked at the table full of dishes, thinking that you have no appetite for such delicious food, what is this, in the spirit of not wasting it, the last table of eight dishes, she swept six of them.

The remaining two are still afraid of scaring Lu Xingwan, and secondly, they don't want people to think that she is like a refugee, so they deliberately show mercy.

However, Rao is like this, and it also refreshed Lu Xingwan's perception of her, her small mouth opened slightly, and she looked at Wen Shu in surprise, as if she never knew that a woman could eat so much.

Wen Shu was a little embarrassed, she had a lot of strength since she was a child, so her appetite was bigger than ordinary people, and the dishes in the Hou Mansion were too delicious, so she couldn't hold it for a while, so she .....

Thinking of the two dishes that she deliberately treated mercilessly, she sighed lightly, knowing that this would also cause surprise, so she didn't pretend to be a lady with mercy.

"Scare the big girl." She opened her mouth, scratched her head, and said, "I have a big appetite since I was a child, and I make the girl laugh." ”

"No, it won't." Lu Xingwan came back to his senses and said enviously: "It's a blessing to be able to eat, I hope I have a good appetite like a little lady." ”

With a good appetite, she can have a good body, she wants to be alive and kicking like other women to play horses and parade the streets, and enjoy the flowers in spring.

Wen Shu saw her envy, and asked casually: "I see that the eldest girl's face is not very good, and she hasn't eaten much, but where is it uncomfortable?" ”

Lu Xingwan smiled bitterly: "The weakness brought out by the mother's womb has been taking more medicine than food for more than ten years, and I have long been used to it. ”

Secretly remembering her words, Wen Shu thought, maybe one day she would be able to enter the iron box and come across something that could cure her illness, and she would definitely be able to sell it for a good price at that time.
